Lee
Joon Gi’s tiger character, Kim Hee Woo, will roar to life in Again My Life in April 2022. His tiger’s eyes would be something to watch out for. Tiger Kim Hee Woo’s eyes are
something extraordinary. Piercing. Menacing. Focussed. Obsessed.
Awe-inspiring. Ruthless. Kim Hee Woo needs his tiger eyes to get him
where he wants to go.
In Again My Life, Kim Hee
Woo, a hot-headed prosecutor, is headed for a pitfall; he is
murdered but is given a new lease on life by a mysterious Angel of Death
or Grim Reaper.
His resurrection will pave the
way for a more intelligent and strategic plan to nail the villainous Jo
Tae Seop. The battle, Prosecutor versus Politician, is a
long-running theme in the drama. To win, Kim Hee Woo develops a
comprehensive strategy. The systematic academic studying. The hard and tough
physical and mental training. The sweating. The bleeding. The forging of powerful
and effective alliances. The pouring out of every ounce of energy and effort
in the planning and preparation. Kim Hee Woo becomes First Among
Equals, the leading prosecutor of the Prosecution Service.   In a scene in the first teaser, Jo
Tae Seop's fate is decided. He makes news for the wrong reasons. He is
egged. The corrupt politician has probably shot himself in the foot.
Kim Hee Woo watches closely the moves of all the criminals that he intends
to take down. He stalks them. Perhaps, he likes the thrill of trapping them. Then
he attacks with a single-minded determination. The ending is most likely to be
an explosive affair. Kim Hee Woo, the tiger and hunter, will surely
trap Jo Tae Seop, his prey. One imagines that Jo Tae Seop,
would be looking at the Eye of the Tiger right before he is
vanquished. Kim Hee Woo’s eyes would pin Jo Tae Seop to where
he is.
Eye of the Tiger can be used to describe Kim Hee Woo’s eyes. The idiom is
a reference to what the tiger’s prey last sees prior to being killed. It is
the harbinger of the impending death of the prey. Right before a tiger
attacks, it turns its ears forward so that the ‘eye spot’ on the back of each
ear faces its prey. Once the prey sees those ‘eyes’, it means that the tiger
is about to attack. The Tiger goes in for the kill and his prey is
looking at the Eye of the Tiger right before he is vanquished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csgH4OOZR-o  The 16-episode SBS drama with
criminal law, political, action, mystery, time travel and fantasy
elements will premiere in April 2022. It is directed by Director Han Chul
Soo, scripted by J and Kim Yul, and adapted from Lee Hae-nal’s web novel of
the same name to the screen by Lee Byung-hun. Lee Soo Min is the Action

Pictures. Again My Life can also be viewed on VIU.
